I'm buried up to my eyes in threads and fabrics and buttons and zippers. I wouldn't have it any other way!

I leave in less than a week for a special place in Missouri! I'll give you one more hint as to where I'm going... my boss/partner in the venture is a super popular blogger.

Hopefully all of the skirts I'm making will be done by then. Or maybe I should save all my button sewing for when my mom is taking the driving shifts on my way there. Mom's roadtrippin it with me then riding back with my Dad who is following us there (overkill... maybe, but very sweet). I may have to visit my summer boss Deb next week to use her button holer. If my buttons weren't free I wouldn't be using shank ones and I could use her button sewing machine, too. Dang.

Here in Northern Ky it is stinking cold. We have had over 10" more snow this month than December averages. The temperature has only been over freezing like 2 days in the past 3 weeks. BRRRR!!! I've been seriously layering.

Here is what I am wearing now!

shirt- Old Navy

suede leather vest- Vintage- thrifted

purple pants- PacSun- though when I go in there now I feel like such an adult

rain boots (to trek in the snow)- birthday gift, Target

I'm going to bed. I've had to be at work at & all week and tomorrow is my last early morning.

This is the only brooch I think I have ever asked for. I want it so bad. I'll be super upset if Brian doesn't buy it for me. I've told him I want it at least 5 times now via talking, text, and facebook.

Right now I like it more than I like him.

Just kidding babe :), but I do want this for Christmas that much.

Going to nap now, then back to work at 2. I love working in infant classrooms!

I think I've mentioned before that my blog is in desperate need of a makeover. I plan on doing this when I get to my January destination. I have it sketched out and a theme planned. I'm not sure how to write html for my nav bar, but I guess learning is part of the fun, that or I'll just let it be white with boring colored fonts. :)

hmmm. My isight camera hasn't worked for a good year now, and I believe Brian and I are going to take it to the Apple Genius fellas tomorrow for a little tlc. I need to be able to skype everyone back home!

Last night I went to Corner Bloc in Price Hill for an acoustic show by Jeremy Spring of the band Abandon Kansas. He was really cool! He sat and talked to my friends and I for a while, and he spoke a lot about being a better person and worshipping in your own way. It really got me thinking, in a positive direction. Here's one of the songs he performed:

Now for the random photos.

These are cupcakes my mom and I made for a baby shower and a potluck a week or so ago. She hand-painted the fondant monkeys

Last night I was talking to my dad about the records I have and he said something to the effect of "Your mom and I have a box downstairs," and "You're welcome to it." I pretty much ran down the stairs and found a big ol' box of records from the 60s-80s. I feel like I hit the lottery.

My favorite is The Beatles White Album. I really love the Beatles, I say this with no fear of sounding cliche. I think I now have almost all of their records. Every one is vintage except an Abbey Road lp. There are also records from these people included: Paul Simon, Elton John, The Police, Led Zeppelin, Jackson Brown... tons more... and a Bill Cosby stand-up :).

Today I wrapped my gifts while listening to Dad's records. Now I'm done other than waiting for John's gift and assembling Ben's...
